Look Ma, no art school: I never took a formal
art course. Trust your instincts.
Surround yourself with like-minded people:
Collaborate on art projects. You can feed off this artistic energy.
It is the best of all worlds.
Do It Yourself: I have had a 100% sell-through
by networking and referrals.
Give back: Since I was 19, I have sponsored
artists in need. This has ranged from a 99 year old photographer
to an 18 year old art student. I have given over $300,000 over my
life.
Be environmentally sensitive: All my art
comes from the notion of environmental stewardship. Remember, to
create is to destroy.
Travel: I have put in 3 million air-miles
visiting other cultures and their native arts. It is a nice lens
to build one’s point of view.
